    #SorcererSupreme #TheAncientOne #DoctorStrange
    The Ancient One was the Sorcerer Supreme as well as the leader of the Masters of the Mystic Arts. For centuries, the Ancient One protected Earth from mystical threats, and dedicated herself to helping others in need by educating them in the magical arts to give them new hope. However, later on, she was challenged by a former student, Kaecilius, who had become corrupted by the Dark Dimension and sought to bring Dormammu to Earth. In the midst of her war against Kaecilius and his Zealots, the Ancient One encountered Doctor Strange and, despite her initial reluctance, was persuaded to accept him as her student by Karl Mordo. During one final battle, the Ancient One was fatally wounded and despite the best efforts of Doctor Strange and Christine Palmer, she accepted her fate and died, but not before giving Doctor Strange the advice he needed to defeat Dormammu as well as to find his new purpose in life as a master.
    In 2023, five years after Thanos succeeded in eliminating half of the universe's population, the Avengers managed to travel back in time in order to initiate a Time Heist. After traveling to 2012, during the midst of the Battle of New York, the Ancient One was protecting the New York Sanctum, when she was met by Hulk, who demanded she relinquish possession of the Time Stone. While the Ancient One initially refused, she relented once she discovered that Strange had intentionally given Thanos the stone in an attempt to reverse the Snap, giving Hulk the Time Stone.

      @scoopsmagoo It is accurate. Thanos didn't interfere with Earth himself until Infinity War. The ancient one protects earth. He didn't kill within the 9 Realms or Odin would've done something about it as the 9 reals were under his protection. Ego really wouldn't care about Thanos as long as he wasn't killing Ego's kids.

      While I know little about the comic books, when it comes to the movies though The Ancient One said "Strange is meant to be the best of us". That does not sound like someone who "knows for certain", it sounds more like someone who has "faith in a prophecy". There is a distinction between those two. So the way I see it, she likely was told a prophecy or received a prophecy that indicated Strange would become the best sorcerer supreme, but she didn't actually see it happen.

    I think what she meant when she said "Doctor Strange is meant to be the best of us" was not that he was more powerful than her. But that his ability to make the right decisions without internal or external influence. Basically his Humanity to do the right thing made him better than any other sorcerer Supreme.

      Indeed, I think it's meant to show how Doctor Strange could think outside the box, way outside the box than other Sorcerer Supreme despite how accustomed and great they were at dealing with things literally outside of reality. Whilst they might've had great powers to bend things, I feel Doctor Strange is made greater cause he's more adept at coming up with solutions despite any limitations and finding loopholes rather than relying on simply power.

    TLDR: She looked into the future and saw her talk with Bruce. She then knew immediately that Stephen's plan, and his actions were successful once Cap showed up with the Time Stone right after Bruce left. She then had to make sure that conversation played out the same way so she could make sure Bruce knew the importance of bringing the stone back so that things could play out as they would normally without any interruptions. That way she could see that Strange would be a great and powerful Sorcerer Supreme and still not see past her own death.
    The way I view her knowing that Strange will be a great Sorcerer Supreme, but also not being able to see past her own death has to do with the time travel in End Game. Look at it this way.
    She was visited by Bruce Banner during the battle of New York. She was convinced that the future Sorcerer Supreme would give up the Time Stone in order to save the universe. As soon as Cap showed up (assuming a literal second after Banner left) she knew immediately that Strange had won. He had beaten back Thanos, and succeeded in his mission. Therefore she knew that he would do great things as the Sorcerer Supreme.
    We know that she can see into the future with the stone, so she had likely seen that entire interaction played out years before, and thus researched Stephen before hand. She knew that Banner was going to come looking for the stone. She then had to play dumb in order to make Banner understand the gravity of taking the stone, so that he would make sure they were all returned at the right time, every time, so that events could play out as they should.

      1. She saw into many different futures, in some she survived AND Stephen became Sorcerer Supreme.
      2. She lied and can actually see past here death
      3. If timetravel is possible with the timestone, she traveled to the future after her death to learn what happens

    Considering how powerful dormammu is, which completely dwarfs Thanos with all infinity stones, and that the ancient one not only defends herself but Earth and indeed our entire dimension from him... Thanos would be hard pressed indeed to defeat the ancient one.
    Side note, she wasn't defeated by howeveryouspellhisname because she wasn't prepared for his ruthlessness. She clearly states she's seen it happen many times, although her not being able to see past it is debatable. I believe she let him kill her because it was the only way to forge Dr strange into the master she needed him to be.
    "He was meant to be the greatest of us"
    It's clear her overall life's mission was to bring about the rise of Dr Strange. That nasty business with the zealots and the sanctums being destroyed were all part of her plan from the beginning, as was her death.

    In the MCU, I think she's at least as powerful as Thanos while he possesses multiple Infinity Gems, because even Strange showed us that he was also near that bar (without even using the time stone in the fight on Titan). So I would even rate her up there possibly with someone like Hela in raw power (she defended Earth against Dormammu level threats, after all). I feel as if Strange might even be stronger than her though, because she was "ancient" at this point, and she knew how powerful he would become as her successor.

He saw everything possible in the future at least 14 million times and he already knew everything like how to fight ad what magics to use and how Thanos will respond. He knew everything that's why he put a good fight but no matter how he fights he never can win against Thanos and he chose the only one possible outcome.

One minor change in that movie and all of a sudden he's different become the sorcerer supreme, which means he doesn't retain the time stone. Which means he doesn't do any of the things he did in infinity war. Which means no one knows there's a 14 million to one chance. Which means thanos wins. The math is unfathomable

That and she was probably one of the few that had the ability to siphon off power without influence and without performing the ritual. She was the only reason i think dormammu hadn't destroyed that reality up to that point. After she died the only thing that protected their reality was the deal that doctor strange forced upon dormammu. She was the sacrifice to save and protect their reality. I think that sums up her intentions pretty well.

    Regarding her scene in the _Endgame_ movie, I think it’s quite likely that the Ancient One already knew ahead of time that Hulk would be arriving that day to acquire the Time Stone and that Captain America would also be arriving to return it since she could see any and all future events prior to her eventual death. In either case, the part where she appeared surprised to learn that Doctor Strange had willingly given away the Time Stone, and where she expressed uncertainty about Hulk’s ability to survive and have the stones returned, was all a deliberate act. For if she had let Hulk know beforehand what the end-result of the Time Heist would ultimately be, his behavior and choice of actions later on could have then been compromised in a negative and perhaps even fatal manner. (To quote the words of the restored Doctor Strange: “If I tell you what happens, it won’t happen”).

    I think her firm belief of Stephen becoming better than every other sorcerer supreme, has more to do with Stephen morals, intellect and genius, and less about abilities. It has been know for centuries that the time stone can trap someone in an infinite loop, she surely knew to do it as well. But Stephen recklessness and quickness of mind make him achieve more with the sorcerer supreme's knowledge. The Ancient one had some serious flaws, she lied, overvalued her life over other's and made pretty selfish desitions on her career. But at least she was able to accept that she wasn't the best for the job. Agamotto was an almost all powerful sorcerer, he was the guardian of the Time stone and was able to contain and understand its power. Stephen had the genius to use it, and gave it away. He had the strength no other sorcerer had, to see over his mission and actually protect our reality over the stone possession.

This event grants him way more knowledge on sorcerer skill which we can see later in infinity war he can single-handed keep fighting Thanos until the last moment. He didn't lost at that moment or we call it as allowing the event to happen in order to "win" the final battle.
      The Ancient On actually contradict a lot with the back story actually because she wouldn't know Dr Strange is the best sorcerer among all but knowing that she couldn't see through after her death, how can she determined that Dr. Strange is the best of all?

That’s why he waits until he knows he can find out where it is to blitz his way through the universe and grab all of them before anyone can really organise a defense

    When Bruce told the Ancient One that Dr Strange gave the stone away, she realized that Strange gave it away on purpose because she knew Dr Strange would not just give it away. She realized that Strange saw this out and that she was not to decline giving the stone to Bruce. Had nothing to do with looking into the future. She just trusted Dr Strange. If Bruce did not mention that, they probably would have not gotten the stone.

    There are some controversial things in dr. Strange's movie for sure:
    Like the ancient is so powerful like just let the person die of old age or something. Having her die like that underserved her. Listening to this video cemented my repetitive thoughts toward her character. The ancient is so cool. One of the characters in the movie I wish we got more time with.
    She said to Banner,"strange is supposed to be the best of us." Does she mean sorcerer's, humans, or sorcerer supremes?
    My understanding of how she saw her end is through seeing Dr. Strange's future because he doesn't rise without her falling. So she couldnt see her end because her end or her fate is tied with strange's ascension. At least that makes sense to me because you need one part for the other to happen. If you follow the belief that all life is connected and one event needs to happen for the other to take place.

    I was thinking about the scene Beyond her death problem too. This could be easily resolved in a few ways. Someone like strange could have come back in time from the future to let her know important details. More likely she probably had access to some sort of Prophecy. She didn't have specific details on him surpassing her. As she put it he is supposed to be the best of us. That sounds vague enough to be prophecy to me.

    Well technically dr.strange was shown to be the greatest sorcerer of all time in the past when they went back in time to fight Thanos cause that even took place in the past which was technically before her death which was technically in a different was a different timeline but still in her past before her death took place so technically she was telling the truth and was correct on that.

      Ik this is comment is a year old but i just wanted to say that the timeline where they were fighting Thanos in end game, the ancient one was already dead. Well they went back to the past where they were all alive, but don't forget that after they took all stone "they returned to their own timeline where all the things already happened like the death of ancient one" and thanos followed them

    4:47, Another possibility is that she isn’t stretching time, but is instead stretching herself and Strange outside of it, hence her saying “Time is relative.” Either way, both are technically a possibility as both the Astral Plane and Dark Dimension exist outside the normal laws of reality.
    7:39, It seems more like the fans are igniting whatever fuel or power source is within the vehicles rather than them being able to explode themselves. Otherwise, it seems she should have had an easier time with the Zealots by just hurling her fans like grenades at them when they were grouped together during her first confrontation with them. But honestly, what do I know, since later material also shows she could have shot energy beams at them or possibly just used telekinesis on them instead of resorting to melee combat.
    11:02, I'm grateful that this detail was mentioned. An overlooked feature that this form of magic can have, wether it be from the Dark Dimension or simply normal Eldritch Magic, its heavily implied that in the same way Yoda can bypass and overcome his old age and subsequent physical disabilities and limitations, Strange is using magic to control and steady his hands. But, like Yoda (and Pangborn) he'd have to constantly focus on his hands to steady them, which is why he seems to only use it to make the proper gestures necessary to cast magic, or whenever else he'd need to use his hands. Also, straight out of the comics, Strange has an ankh of immortality that can appear on his forehead, similar to the Dark Dimension symbol appearing on the Ancient One and the Zealots.
